Paddle Forward Lyrics

SOS
We’ve come unmoored
Riptide pulling, pulling away from the shore
We feel safe
Inside
Not a wave in sight
Hang on tight
The water’s fine

Rock the boat
We’ve come unmoored
Slipped the cleat, lost at sea
Crack on the centreboard
But we feel safe
For now
As long as time allows
Hang on tight

Rushes by too fast
Never seems to last
Hanging ten
Waiting here before the mast

Ship of fools
We've come unmoored
Riptide pulling, pulling away from the shore
We feel safe
Inside
Not a wave in sight
Hang on tight
There's still time
The water's fine

The majority of those lyrics do not seem to fit what I am hearing while listening to this song... but the same "mistakes" are everywhere online... so maybe it's me? but I doubt it... I'll have to ask them...
